Inspection and registration
Bowtienutz replied to hotrod59f100's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Take a picture of your license tag and inspection sticker of you car. Scale them down on your computer print them on some glossy photo paper and you'd come out something satifactory. Attach it to the windscreen with some canopy glue or other white glue that dries clear. For some more realism maybe roll edge before attaching it to the windshield. alot of them come partially unglued from the glass long before they expire. On a I'm gonna come clean on lawbreaking note, in the early 70's my POS 60 impala would never pass a PA inspection. What to do? An observation I noticed that the label from a "Bavarian" beer bottle look amazingly like a PA inspection sticker. A black magic marker with a big # representing the month of issue and a little glue and I was Vinnie approved for a whole year. -
Slump buster Revell W900
Bowtienutz replied to Fat Brian's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Nice build Bryan, As a slump buster these snap together trucks are easy and fast to build, make a great shelf model and for the price of under $20 you can't go wrong.I think everyone should pick up at least one each of these KW & Pete kits from Revell. They I've seen people that never built a truck model get hooked on trucks. Only problem with them is there is alot of "canvas" there making you want to get crazy with your decal or airbrush. Build one box stock get to first base and swing for the fences with the second one. Now my question for you what's next now that your on first base. Vince -

Re NNL East... ReplMinCoMD
Bowtienutz replied to Ramfins59's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Hat's off to Norm for filling standing orders FIRST rather than going to a show like NNL East and depleting stock. I once ordered items from another caster and when my order still wasn't filled 8 months later, low and behold he had all the items on his table. I gathered everything up and thanked him. Never placed another order with him again nor would I. -

So I cant park
Bowtienutz replied to martinfan5's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Don't feel bad last year we had a deal at our model club "drive your cool car to the meeting" . I rode with a friend in his car, a crown vic we got there and parked next to a 50 olds. Really cool car black, with flames. I had no idea who's it was. I went back to the vic an hour later to put some kits I bought in the back seat. Opening the door I expected it to be much heavier door than it actually was, sure enough the door got away from me and bang up against the olds. Nice BIG ding in the quarter panel of Olds, no damage to the vic. If I could have crawled under a rock I would have, I found the owner and with tears in my eyes i was appogizing and felt like an idiot. I of course paid for the damage but it still didn't take away the crappy feeling I had for doing such a bonehead thing. -

Kenworth W900 custome
Bowtienutz replied to Inky's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
You got nothing to be embarassed about! Looks like a nice build. You learned alot doing it, and have someting nice to display. Pack it up and take that to the Arkansas Model show in Little Rock. Ken Leslie (on this Board) and Dave Branson put on that show. great guys. Ken does awesome airbrush work and does local seminars. If you hate rattle cans Ken can be your next new best friend. You got a great imagination and follow thru. Keep up the good work. -

Midland Belly Dump Trailer Build
Bowtienutz replied to Aaron Corey's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
those are pretty cool good luck with your project. I use to see alot of those running around north Texas. -
? for the insiders of the hobby. How long does it take to produce a model. I'm curious of the manufacture process. Is a mold 1 body and all the parts? Are the clear parts a seperate mold? Explain what a mold looks like. What is demold time? We've all rumours of Johan molds being carted off for scrap by employees I thought that molds were heavy large things. Vince
